Master of Surrender by Karin Tabke Pdf

The Blood Sword Legacy Bound by a brotherhood forged in the hell of a Saracen prison, eight Blood Swords -- mercenary knights for William the Conqueror -- set out to claim their legacies the only way they can: by right of arms, by right of victory, by right of conquest. For Sir Rohan du Luc, known as the Black Sword, enemies fall easily beneath his assault...until he comes face-to-face with a foe more worthy than any battle-hardened knight. Bold and courageous though she is, Saxon maiden Isabel of Alethorpe cannot stop Rohan de Luc from seizing Alethorpe and its people in the name of William the Conqueror. Then Rohan demands not just the manor, but Isabel herself. She vows that her heart will remain her own, even if she is forced to allow him to lay claim to her body. But while the lady's lips say no, Isabel's traitorous body is awakened to desire by the seductive attentions of this potent invader. Can she remain true to her Saxon heritage and her hopes that her brother may have survived the battlefield, or will Sir Rohan's skilled touch capture her unwilling heart as surely as his prowess with his sword captured her father's lands?

The Death of King Arthur by Thomas Malory Pdf

Acclaimed biographer Peter Ackroyd vibrantly resurrects the legendary epic of Camelot in this modern adaptation. The names of Arthur, Merlin, Lancelot, Guinevere, Galahad, the sword of Excalibur, and the court of Camelot are as recognizable as any from the world of myth. Although many versions exist of the stories of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table, Le Morte d'Arthur by Sir Thomas Malory endures as the most moving and richly inventive. In this abridged retelling the inimitable Peter Ackroyd transforms Malory's fifteenth-century work into a dramatic modern story, vividly bringing to life a world of courage and chivalry, magic, and majesty. The golden age of Camelot, the perilous search for the Holy Grail, the love of Guinevere and Lancelot, and the treachery of Arthur's son Mordred are all rendered into contemporary prose with Ackroyd's characteristic charm and panache. Just as he did with his fresh new version of Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales, Ackroyd now brings one of the cornerstones of English literature to a whole new audience.

Urban Mosaics is a new adult surprising book; by the same author of the novel Incompatível [Incompatible] (Scortecci, 2018)

Timeless On The Silk Road by Heather Ellis Pdf

After riding her motorcycle across Africa, Heather Ellis is faced with a choice: go on one last adventure or wait for the inevitable. Diagnosed with HIV in London in 1995 when she has the test for a Russian visa, Timeless On The Silk Road is the story of what happens next. What unfolds is a journey of courage, hardship and immense natural beauty as she rides along the fabled Silk Roads of antiquity. Infused with a deep spiritual power, it is a story that leaves the reader considering their own ‘time less’ journey called life. 'It’s more than just a long motorcycle trip...’ Tony Wheeler, co-founder Lonely Planet. 'The road maybe silken but it is far from smooth,' Ted Simon. Timeless On The Silk Road (Phonte 2019) is Heather's second book and follows Ubuntu: One Woman's Motorcycle Odyssey Across Africa (Black Inc. 2016), which continues to be listed as a bestseller on Amazon and has received an award for one of the best motorcycling books, and one of the best Ubuntu books, of all time by Book Authority. 'I was enthralled by every page.’ Cheryl Strayed. www.heather-ellis.com
